Six million American children and adults have an LGBT parent

An estimated 37 percent of LGBT Americans have had a child, meaning as many as six million American children and adults have an LGBT parent, according to findings from a national study released Wednesday by Williams Institute Distinguished Scholar, Gary J. Gates.

Gates said of the study, “These analyses highlight the diversity and prevalence of LGBT parents and their children in the U.S. The data show that LGBT families are clearly part of modern American life.”
